The food history in Cappadocia, including the Devrent Valley, is profoundly influenced by its geographical location and historical significance. Cappadocia was an important trade route, leading to an amalgamation of various cuisines and cooking techniques from the Silk Road travelers. Ingredients such as grains, legumes, and fruits found in the region reflect the influence of both Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Cooking in traditional clay pots and tandoor-like ovens called ‘testi’ has been a hallmark of Cappadocian cuisine for centuries.
